Protect your margin. Grow your revenue. Get your time back.
Senior help running the business side of your practice. Staffing and retention, scheduling, vendors, and a clear view of your numbers, for independent practices around Denver. Part-time, at a fraction of a full-time hire.
You did not open your practice to manage vendors and cover the front desk.
Revenue and margins that could be better. Vendors that auto-renew without a conversation. Working to build a strong team while rushing to fill schedule challenges. And not enough hours in the week to find where the money is going.
Health Ops Denver is your part-time operations partner, a fractional COO if you like the term. This isn't slide decks, it's a delivery partner here to improve your revenue and margins. We work alongside you or your practice manager, not instead of you, and we partner with your existing finance, legal, and other advisors when the work calls for it. Month to month. No long contract. Scaled to a practice your size.
Most of this work looks the same across independent practices, so your specialty matters less than you might think. We come from an ophthalmology background and work across specialties. When specialty-specific work makes sense, we prove it in your own numbers first.
Five places we take work off your plate.
Plain problems, plain language. Start with whatever is costing you the most right now.
Keeping and supporting good people
The systems that support your staff and let you continue to function when someone is out for the day.
How we help ›Patients who can actually get in
Access, scheduling, and no-shows. Filling the capacity you already have before you spending more on marketing.
How we help ›Lower your software and vendor costs
Tools that do not talk to each other, vendors that auto-renew, and no one to sort what is worth paying for.
How we help ›See where the money goes
A short set of numbers you actually look at, so you can make decisions that matter.
How we help ›Help running the business side
Someone to think the non-clinical side through with, who gets the decision made and brings in the right specialist when it is time.
How we help ›Not just protect margin. Grow the top line too.
Margin is half the job. The other half is revenue you are leaving on the table.
Access and referrals
Fill the schedule you already have, and turn on the referral sources that actually send volume.
Payer contracts
Read what you are signed up for and benchmark your rates, with a payer and CMS background behind it. You or your attorney sign, we do the homework.
New revenue lines
Cash-pay, ancillary, and other streams that lower your dependence on any single payer.
Adding a provider or a location
Plan the operational side so growth does not triple the workload the way it did last time.
The review tells you which of these is worth it for your practice, in your own numbers.
Start small. Fix what matters. Keep what we build.
A fixed-fee review
We start with the Operations and Money-Trail Review. Fixed fee, about two to three weeks, no access to patient records. You get a clear picture of where you are losing time and money and what to fix first.
We fix and run the priorities with you
You pick the work that matters most right now. We scope the time and cost, then do the work alongside your team. Priorities flex month to month.
You keep what we build
Every system is built so your team can run it without us. When you are ready, we hand off, or stay light as an as-needed partner. Your choice.
Work with us in the way that suits you.
No locked-in packages. You choose the shape, and you keep control.
Monthly retainer
Ongoing time you point at whatever matters most. Hiring this month, the dashboard next, vendors after that. Priorities flex with you.
A specific project
A clear scope and a clear end. A practice launch, exit preparation, a financial-visibility build. A good way to start before committing monthly.
Your call on duration
Stay long-term as an ongoing partner, or bring us in for a limited engagement and move on when the work is done. Month to month, no long contract.
Whatever you choose, we build so your team can run it without us. The goal is a stronger practice, not a permanent invoice.
The Operations and Money-Trail Review
Fixed fee of 1,500 to 3,500 dollars, based on your size. About two to three weeks. No access to patient records. You get a money-trail on one page, your biggest opportunities measured against your own numbers, a simple owner dashboard, and a plan for what to fix first. There is no obligation beyond the review.
See what the review includesSenior operations help, scaled to a practice your size.
You are not hiring a six-figure executive, and you are not signing a long contract. The Operations and Money-Trail Review is one fixed fee, 1,500 to 3,500 dollars based on your size. Ongoing work is quoted per practice and scoped to the hours and months you actually need. Because the help is part-time, you get senior experience at a cost that scales up or down with you. We work alongside you or your practice manager. Month to month.
Built on real operating experience, not a slide deck.
Health Ops Denver is led by Chris Anderson, a Denver operator who runs operations for an independent specialty practice and has spent more than 15 years with providers and hospital systems, payers, government, and healthcare technology.
Before healthcare, he built and sold a finance company that passed 300 million dollars in revenue. This isn't consulting. It's a delivery partner.
Independent practices around Denver and across the Front Range.
Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Centennial, Lone Tree, Parker, Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Boulder, Broomfield, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs, within about two hours of Denver.
We work on-site and by video. We come on-site across the Front Range when being in the room matters, like mapping the patient journey, watching the front desk, or coaching staff. Routine work happens by video. See our service area ›
AI is a tool, not a crutch. We help you tell the difference.
AI is on every operator's mind, and the capability is real. Most of what gets pitched to practices sits between hype and reality. Some practices are not ready for it. Some are curious where to start. Some already use it and want to know what is next. Wherever you are, we meet you there.
Two questions decide whether any tool earns a place, AI or not.
Does it solve a problem you have today? Can your team keep going if it breaks or someone is out? If a tool does not clear both, we do not recommend it. We help you get more from what you already own before suggesting anything new.
How we think about AI for your practice, and the free guide, no email required.
Three things you can do this week.
They cost nothing and take under an hour. If the numbers surprise you, there is probably more to find.
Pull your no-show plus cancel rate for the last 90 days.
If it is above about 7 percent, the fix is usually the scheduling workflow and the front-desk script, not reminding patients more.
List the roles where one person being out is most challenging.
Those single points of failure are your biggest staffing risk. Cross-training at least two people on each one is the cheapest insurance you can buy.
Run overhead as a percent of collections, not revenue.
Revenue is what you bill. Collections is what you keep. Measured against collections, that number tells you where you really stand.
Common questions.
A part-time operations partner works with your practice on a set, ongoing basis, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. The job is to find the gaps that move revenue and margin, fix them with your team, and build your team's ability to keep them fixed.
Independent practices with 1 to 10 providers, across a range of specialties. The operational problems we fix are common across most of them.
The Operations and Money-Trail Review is one fixed fee of 1,500 to 3,500 dollars, based on your size. Ongoing work is quoted per practice and scales with your needs. There is no full-time salary and no long contract.
No. After a short initial commitment, engagements run month to month. Project work has a defined scope and end date.
No. We work alongside you or your practice manager. They run the day-to-day. We handle the areas most teams were never trained for: growth, the numbers, technology choices, and vendor strategy.
No. The review and our work stay at the operational and aggregate level. No patient health information changes hands.
Everything is documented and handed off, so your team keeps full capability. Some practices move on completely. Some keep us on lightly for periodic projects. Either way, you keep what we built and you are in a stronger spot than when we started.
